CHAIRMAN BARACK SIDES WITH NEW YORK MOSQUE

President Obama said Friday in an acknowledgement of Ramadan that he supports the building of the Mosque near 9/11 Ground Zero in New York City. "I understand the emotions that this issue engenders. Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground." But The Chairman was firm and unwavering in his belief that the project should go ahead as planned. A political firestorm quickly evolved. Yesterday, he backtracked and tried to spin his Friday statements into support only for the right to build, and not for the wisdom. "I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," Obama said. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding.”

COMMENTS:

I think he is hoping that the Mosque will open on that site as planned on September 11, 2011 so that he can try Khalid Sheik Mohamed in a Mosque at the site of 9/11 on the tenth anniversary. You may have voted for this guy, but I most certainly did not. I try to pay attention to what is going on in my country. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I didn’t know illegals could get driver licenses in this country. Where and why? (Kelly ~ Barstow, CA)
A. New Mexico, Utah and Washington. Obviously, those states think illegal aliens have rights. Some propose that letting them have driver’s licenses means they won’t be driving without insurance. I guess they are naïve enough to think that illegals who have broken the law by coming here will obey it if they get a driving license. The numb-skulls don’t realize that all we have now is illegals with some form of identification that would be accepted anywhere as evidence of legality, and they are really still illegal and still driving without insurance. Why do so many people in this country need glass stomachs in order to see their way around? I put my feelings where my mouth is: I just canceled my trip to my 50th high school reunion in Utah and am no longer speaking to my sons who live in Washington or my brother who lives in New Mexico. Please pass the gray poop on.

Q. How is it possible for city leaders in a town like Bell, California, to get away with paying themselves such exorbitant salaries and benefits? (Oliver ~ Arroyo Grande, CA)
A. How did we allow our government to evolve into what it is? Same reason; we’ve been sitting on our duffs watching television and surfing the Internet when we should have been paying attention to what is going on in our country.

Q. I cannot believe that Janet Napolitano says that the $600 million in new border security money is enough to do the job. All it gives them is 1,000 agents are two drones to cover 2,000 miles of border. (Lucy ~ Burney, CA)
A. At the rate they are wasting money on other things, this makes you angry, doesn’t it? Between 1997 and 2003, the defense department alone spent over $100 million in airline tickets it never used. In just one year, Federal employees wasted over $146 million in first-class airline tickets they are not eligible to use. How about $8.5 billion tossed down the drain in earned-income overpayments? Obviously, money grows on trees in Washington and when they harvest it, they don’t spend it where it justifiably needs to be spent.
